The Last Guardian

Well, it’s here, and as expected, it’s quite something. I’m especially a fan of Ico – I liked Shadow of the Colossus as well, but never finished it – and this so far (about 2-3 hours in) is bringing me back to that original game, feeling like I’m on this journey with a companion I’m starting to care a lot for. So far, what I love the most are the realistic animal movements and behaviors of Trico, as well as the cartoony and nicely animated boy. Sure, it can be a bit frustrating when you’re trying to solve a puzzle and it feels like Trico is just not cooperating, but I just take it as another part of the puzzle to solve (like when I need to handle my dog in real life). I really want to take my time playing this.
